Match Thread | Brentford vs Man City (05/02/24)

[Bigga]

Bit too predictable. Waiting on team-mates in the final third, it seems.

Not sure why, but we normally hammer shots in (Walker aside), but it just all seems a bit too safe, right now.

Is it pressure of expectancy? I don't know.

Doku for Bernardo
Grealish for Alvarez
And somehow should make a place for Kovačić, Stones and Akanji for better ball control. We made poor 247 passes

Not sure going from no one on the left to everyone on the left is a good plan

Dead chuffed for Foden

Me too mate, but my stream commentator said he didn’t get much power on it, so I think it’s only half a goal. VAR checking at half time apparently

Same old story. All the play and plenty of chances (though to be fair most of our shots have been from distance) and yet we concede to their first and only (?) shot of the half.

Haaland been pretty quiet apart from his fine great chance. KDB too apart from his one great pass. I guess why they both play when fit!

I think we've played pretty well apart from a bit of carelessness at the back at times. Keep it going 2nd half, cut out the sloppiness and we should win this.

The match thread living down to it's usual standard, I see.

Just got in a pick up after a front tyre blow out on M62.
Have I missed much?

Two cars and a lorry ;) Hopefully!!

why do I have a feeling that this weekend when Brentford visit Wolves they will concede like 4 goals first half from about 5 shots total and Flekken has 2 and a half clangers.

Because it’s the usual man city trophy game

 

[TinFoilHat]

I hope so, he needs a goal.
He's struggling to find that killer instinct, even pre injury.
1 goal and the flood gates will open for him again.

He's trying to hard. Needs to get back into that no fucks given zone.

 

[bondsman]

Don't exaggerate. We've played well. There's always going to be the odd error against teams playing on the break.

No exaggeration they look dangerous because we aren’t winning that long ball or the second ball. Two poor clearances from Eddie to boot. That’s Neal Mauoay causing us problems he’s turd.
